Brief Summary:
The current research focus for cancer diagonosis is classical genetics, named "driving genes". However, not all cancer patients have typical genetic alterations, especially at early stage. In the past dacades, accumulating evidences have revealed that more than 80% diseases are closely related to epigenetic changes. The normally silenced copy of imprinted genes are reactivated at early stage of cancers, and finally proceed to copy number variation. This study will screen for a panel of imprinted genes and build quantitative models to assist the diagnosis of multiple cancers.

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Observational
Estimated Enrollment : 1500 participants
Observational Model: Case-Control
Time Perspective: Retrospective
Official Title: Role of Genomic Imprinting in Cancer Diagnosis
Actual Study Start Date : July 1, 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date : March 31, 2019
Estimated Study Completion Date : June 30, 2020

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Cancer patients
The patients receive the surgery according to the indication of surgery. The diagnosis is confirmed by pathology of removed tissue. The result of imprinting detection are used as cancer group.
Diagnostic Test: In-situ imprinting detection
The loss of imprinting (LOI) and copy number variation (CNV) from biopsies will be tested by LiSen in-situ imprinting detection.

Benign tumor and other disease patients
Patients ruled out the possibility of malignancy according to biopsy pathology are used as negative control.
Diagnostic Test: In-situ imprinting detection
The loss of imprinting (LOI) and copy number variation (CNV) from biopsies will be tested by LiSen in-situ imprinting detection.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sensitivity of imprinting cancer early detection [ Time Frame: In the middle of the study, an average of 15 months ]
    Number of patients "declared positive" with the imprinting early detection among the patients suffered from cancer

  2. Specificity of imprinting cancer early detection [ Time Frame: In the middle of the study, an average of 15 months ]
    Number of patients "declared negative" with the imprinting early detection among the patients who are with benign tumors or other diseases


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Comparison of the sensitivity of the imprinting detection versus cytopathology [ Time Frame: In the middle of the study, an average of 15 months ]
    Number of patients "declared positive" with the imprinting early detection versus patients "declared positive" with the cytopathology

  2. Comparison of the specificity of the imprinting detection versus cytopathology [ Time Frame: In the middle of the study, an average of 15 months ]
    Number of patients "declared negative" with the imprinting early detection versus patients "declared negative" with the cytopathology


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
This study collects biopsies samples including but not limited to bronchoscopy biopsy, bronchial lavage fluid, fine needle aspiration, cystoscopy biopsy, urine samples, colonoscopy biopsy.
